Harper: In it for himself

Can it be anymore obvious?

If you go to The Government of Canada site today,  you will see this announcement:

Harper Government to further strengthen protection for Canadian consumers of financial products and services       

8 March 2011
The Honourable Ted Menzies, Minister of State (Finance), and the Member of Parliament for Lévis–Bellechasse, Steven Blaney, today announced the Harper Government is taking decisive action to protect the interests of Canadian consumers of financial products and services...

No other Prime Minister has felt so entitled to consider himself The Government, to change what we call our government in order to give the illusion that all good things the entire elected Parliament and the Senate does comes from him personally.

Of course you will never read or hear steve and his serfs refer to the harper government when talking about problems or screw-ups.  Hell no!  That domain belongs to the faceless bureaucrats.

It’s laughable to still see CON ads pompously, self-righteously postulating that Ignatieff is in it for himself.

That steve doesn’t see how obvious his endless campaign on our tax dollar to constantly place himself in front of every good thing Canadian displays a person who considers himself above all others and above all accountability shows him up for what he is: a malignant narcissist.

And those personality types are always and only in it for themselves.  Always.

Not only is Harpie in it for himself, he is a monumental waster of the taxpayers' dollars. I would love to see an ad showing the amount the ReformaTories have spent on self-promoting TV ads versus the amounts spent by the previous governments. It might just shock Canadians out of their political oma.

I was just thinking that. harper wants to keep the focus on the economy and the budget. Linking the waste to the self-promotion would be a good approach for the opposition.

I love how the CONs came up with their projected cost for the F-35: "The math between the government's price comparison with the CF-18 Hornets works like this. Ottawa says the planes cost $30.7-million when they were purchased in the early 1980s. Factoring in inflation, this translates to $62.3-million in 2016 dollars. By comparison, the average cost to Canada for each F-35 over the 2016-2022 period will be about $74.5-million (U.S.)." (G&M online today)

That's like saying a cell phone in 1988 cost around 80.00 so factoring in inflation, and I-Phone IV would cost about 150.00 today.

Page figures the initial cost without maintenance will be 149 million per.

I also would love to see Canadians shocked out of their apathy over anti-democratic actions of the government than over a budget. Budgets mean nothing if the government is corrupt and secretive.
